Hi, since two days one of my R packages get an travis.ci error using the R-devel, due to my settings "warningsareerrors: true". The warning is as follows: Warning: multiple methods tables found for ‘which’ I already changed the which into base::which function, which did not resolve the warning. Do any of you have a clue why since two days this warning is coming up? In May everything compiled without any warnings. Best regards and thank you in anticipation Kristian Ullrich

Hi, I am just posting what Travis CI output is showing for R-devel. It seems that there are some packages which have newer versions and these are installed. This was not happening in May.

$ Rscript -e 'deps <- remotes::dev_package_deps(dependencies = NA);remotes::install_deps(dependencies = TRUE);if (!all(deps$package %in% installed.packages())) { message("missing: ", paste(setdiff(deps$package, installed.packages()), collapse=", ")); q(status = 1, save = "no")}'
BiocGenerics (0.35.2  -> 0.35.4 ) [CRAN]
rmarkdown    (2.1     -> 2.2    ) [CRAN]
mvtnorm      (1.1-0   -> 1.1-1  ) [CRAN]
htmltools    (0.4.0   -> 0.5.0  ) [CRAN]
httpuv       (1.5.3.1 -> 1.5.4  ) [CRAN]
later        (1.0.0   -> 1.1.0.1) [CRAN]
promises     (1.1.0   -> 1.1.1  ) [CRAN]
vctrs        (0.3.0   -> 0.3.1  ) [CRAN]
pkgload      (1.0.2   -> 1.1.0  ) [CRAN]

Now during the install process of BiocGeneric I can see the which.min and which.max function being set as new generic functions. However, the which function is not among them. Might this be the problem of the initial issue "Warning: multiple methods tables found for 'which'"?

Here is the output from R-release if one loads the BiocGenerics package:

Attaching package: ‘BiocGenerics’

The following objects are masked from ‘package:parallel’:

    clusterApply, clusterApplyLB, clusterCall, clusterEvalQ,
    clusterExport, clusterMap, parApply, parCapply, parLapply,
    parLapplyLB, parRapply, parSapply, parSapplyLB

The following objects are masked from ‘package:stats’:

    IQR, mad, sd, var, xtabs

The following objects are masked from ‘package:base’:

    anyDuplicated, append, as.data.frame, basename, cbind, colnames,
    dirname, do.call, duplicated, eval, evalq, Filter, Find, get, grep,
    grepl, intersect, is.unsorted, lapply, Map, mapply, match, mget,
    order, paste, pmax, pmax.int, pmin, pmin.int, Position, rank,
    rbind, Reduce, rownames, sapply, setdiff, sort, table, tapply,
    union, unique, unsplit, which, which.max, which.min

and here from R-devel:

Attaching package: ‘BiocGenerics’

The following objects are masked from ‘package:parallel’:

    clusterApply, clusterApplyLB, clusterCall, clusterEvalQ,
    clusterExport, clusterMap, parApply, parCapply, parLapply,
    parLapplyLB, parRapply, parSapply, parSapplyLB

The following objects are masked from ‘package:stats’:

    rbind, Reduce, rownames, sapply, setdiff, sort, table, tapply,
    union, unique, unsplit, which.max, which.min

Again the which function is missing in the R-devel as compared to the R-release.

Hi,

You should not be using R-devel. The current devel version of Bioconductor (BioC 3.12) is only supported on R 4.0.

See https://support.bioconductor.org/p/131689/ for a discussion of the which issue.

Your TravisCI setup is very likely not using the latest versions of all packages but it's impossible to tell because you're not showing the output of sessionInfo().

In BioC 3.12, loading BiocGenerics no longer displays that which is set as a new generic function. This is as expected.

Hi,

as fas as I understood R-devel is for testing, if everything compiles and to find bugs in future versions.

I will attach the travis.yml file and try to add the installation of the latest package versions. Maybe you can give a hint how to do that efficiently.

Thank you in anticipation

Best regards

Kristian

I will of course also try to add a line to get directly the sessionInfo() from travis CI.

Not for testing BioC 3.12. BioC 3.12 only targets R 4.0. This means that when we release it (in Fall) we will have it tested and validated against R 4.0. This will remain the target for its entire life cycle. At some point, when R devel diverges enough from R 4.0, testing BioC 3.12 against R-devel will produce errors and these errors will be expected. We won't fix them in BioC 3.12, only in BioC 3.13, but that will only be possible when we start the BioC 3.13 devel cycle (in Fall, after the BioC 3.12 release).

In other words testing BioC 3.12 against R-devel is meaningless and a waste of time and resources.

Here is now a trvis.yml that now works fine and build without errors. Issue can be closed.
